The Vikings activated Justin Jefferson from the reserve/COVID-19 list.

Minnesota’s first-round pick is ready to roll and should be a significant piece in Gary Kubiak’s offense as a projected starter alongside Adam Thielen.

Matthew Stafford was taken off reserve/COVID-19.

The Lions put out a statement making it clear that Stafford did not actually have the virus and was instead given a false-positive test result surrounded by multiple negative tests. The false-positives have been a problem in testing, and it’s something to watch with players set to get tested for COVID-19 often this season.

Ron Rivera says Alex Smith can be in Washington’s quarterback competition.

Rivera is speaking to reporters this morning, and he says “I can envision” Smith being a part of the quarterback competition during training camp. Rivera says that Smith has “looked very fluid, he really has”, but added that the veteran quarterback needs to be able to prove he can protect himself coming off a very serious leg injury. Washington’s new head coach also said there is not a deadline for when Smith must be fully cleared to enter the quarterback competition during camp. On field training won’t ramp up for a couple of weeks, and we’d think Smith will have a legit shot to be Washington’s Week 1 starter if he can get full clearance by then. Regardless, it’s a great story, and it sounds like Washington will have a wide-open quarterback competition this summer whether it’s between just Dwayne Haskins and Kyle Allen or with Smith also in the mix.

Minshew will be good to go for camp, which obviously helps his 2020 outlook as he learns a new system under offensive coordinator Jay Gruden. The second-year quarterback is currently being drafted as a low-end QB2 option on a team that is looking to surprise in the AFC South.
